Johann Engeler, his wife Anna, and daughters (Anna, age 16; Maria, age 3) arrived from Danzig at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 May 1766 aboard the galliot Die Hoffnung under the command of Skipper Johann Heschke.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Kamenka on 1 March 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 67.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Engeler was a farmer from Elbingen. The 1767 census records that Johann Engeler was a tiler (Fliesenleger) from the German town of Elbing in Poland.
